Alex Scott teases flirty One Direction encounter as she says one member 'has it going on'

Alex Scott has teased a flirty One Direction encounter she had but refuses to name which band member it was.

The star talked about the moment on the latest episode of The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan but wouldn't name which member of the group "chatted her up".

But as much as she said she didn't want to name names, she seemed to drop hints by saying she liked Watermelon Sugar and "a bit of Pillow Talk" which are solo songs by Harry Styles, 29, and Zayn Malik, 29, respectively.

Host of the show, Mo, asked: "What about you, Alex? Because I've heard you've been chatted up by one of the One Direction members. Is this true?"

The former bank was made up of Harry, Niall Horan, 29, Liam Payne, 29, Louis Tomlinson, 31, as well as Zayn before he left the group in 2015, just a year before the band went on a hiatus.

But Alex wasn't giving anything away as she replied: "What band? What? I do like a bit of Watermelon Sugar… A bit of Pillow Talk… A bit of Slow Hands…'"

Mo guessed: "It was Harry! Was it Harry?"

The comedian went on to add: "Harry's got those white boy hips, y'know. Wearing the platform shoes."

Alex simply said: "Harry's got it going it on a little bit."

Mo wouldn't give up with his guesses, then asking if it was a different member instead.

"What about Niall? 'Yo, they call me Niall, you get me. C'mon, We're not getting any juice out of you, is there anything?," he added.

But Alex refused to give straight answer, exclaiming: "I can't reveal that!"

The appearance comes after Alex recently said she is "single and ready to mingle".

She previously explained that she is "open" to being in a relationship with a man or a woman and "never closes herself off" when it comes to romance.

After "struggling" with some dating apps, Alex said her friend and fellow former footballer Jamie Redknapp told her about the app Raya, which is used by celebrities.

Alex told Grazia magazine: "Its really hard [to find someone] cause people have a load of preconceptions. I struggle with apps.

"For me, it's all about connection that instant connection with someone and conversation and I'm like 'Oh wow'."
